00:00...against Connecticut because of left knee soreness.
00:02She is back in the starting lineup.
00:04And then for New York, Sabrina Ionescu, the hero,
00:06back on Wednesday night in Chicago versus the Sky,
00:09hitting that game winner.
00:11And of course, Maureen Johannes, who put up a career-high 25 points,
00:14including six threes in the first meeting of the season
00:18back in early May between these two teams.
00:21Sidney Johnson, in year number two, spoke with him before the game,
00:24preached about the fact that he and the rest of his players
00:27are having the time of their lives with this youth movement
00:30that they've undergone.
00:32And even look back at that game on Sunday,
00:34crediting the defense for two-and-a-half quarters,
00:37trying to put a full 40-minute together.
00:39Chris DiMarco, in his first season,
00:41has guided the Liberty to an 11-4 record,
00:45just the second coach in Liberty franchise history
00:48to have at least 10 wins in his first 15 games.
00:53New York has dominated the series as of late,
00:56a franchise record, 10 straight wins versus Washington.
01:00Our officiating crew tonight, Claire Simmons,
01:03Ryan Sassano, and Gerda Gatling.
01:10It'll be Shakira Austin and Jonquale Jones at center circle
01:15to get things started, and it is Washington
01:17that controls the opening possession.
01:23The Washington team, Dominique, that is 6-7 on the year,
01:26looking to get back to 500 on the season.
01:28Credited that win last week against Toronto
01:32as potentially a turning point,
01:33and Eriathan gets the first two points of the game tonight.
01:36Turning point is also that they're healthy,
01:38and Kiki back on the floor for this team.
01:40You look already, they hit her early in this one.
01:43Domination and the points of the paint
01:44is what the Washington Mystics tried to do to opposing teams.
01:47The number four pick overall in last year's WNBA draft.
01:51Here's Yonescu, the Euro step, and an answer for the Liberty.
01:55That's a really positive side,
01:56and a nice read from Yonescu, getting it to the paint,
02:01ran off the three-point line, not settling,
02:02getting a good shot in the middle of the floor.
02:04Third game back for her after missing seven straight
02:07because of back soreness.
02:09Washington works it back down to Austin, kicks it out.
02:11Good ball movement, Mikayla Onyawere short on the three-point shot.
02:21Johannes dribbling around, trying to find Stewart,
02:23intercepted by Citron.
02:25This is what makes her so dangerous.
02:28Georgia Amor fires off the three.
02:33As we look at the points and the paint,
02:35this is a team that is one of the best in the league, the best.
02:39And then the beautiful seal on the inside,
02:42that was a pinpoint pass to get her active.
02:44And Yonescu doing a nice job of just getting herself going to the game.
02:48I thought against the Chicago Sky in that one,
02:50the team was kind of forcing the ball to her.
02:52There was a couple of turnovers early.
02:53She couldn't really get in a rhythm,
02:55and that had to feel good to get that first bucket in this one.
02:58Yeah, Krista Marco talked about getting the rhythm together now
03:01with a full, healthy team.
03:02Johannes' three-pointer rimming in and out.
03:10Daria Finn back in action after missing those three games
03:14because of an ankle sprain.
03:16First time in her career,
03:17and a three-pointer that drops down for Citron.
03:19Well, Citron is dynamic, as we know.
03:22But when the three ball is falling, man, it's going to be scary.
03:25She's had a down year shooting the ball from three,
03:28but if she gets a screen like that from Austin to set her feet,
03:31she's dangerous.
03:32Yeah, Citron only a 29% three-point shooter,
03:35giving Washington an early advantage.
03:37Shot clock down to five.
03:39Fiebich in the lane and traveling with the basketball.
03:42That'll be a tournament for the Liberty.
03:47Well, the Mystics are playing with a ton of confidence right now
03:49to have their veterans healthy back,
03:51excuse me, their rookies back on the floor,
03:53and the ball movement to pass around the perimeter to five.
03:56Citron is ready to shoot and knock it down.
03:59Citron, as you talked about,
04:00no sophomore slump is having an incredible sophomore campaign.
04:04Second behind Paige Beckers in points per game this season,
04:07as Jones nearly takes it away.
04:09Citron with five on the shot clock,
04:11as Stewart comes down with it.
04:14And O'Neill-Werry committing the foul.
04:22Yeah, Mystics been getting a couple of looks from three.
04:24That's expected.
04:25You go into this game knowing that this is a team
04:27that doesn't shoot well from deep.
04:29You know, a lot of teams hog in the paint
04:31to make them spray out,
04:33and they're shooting 29% as a team.
04:36And that's next to last in the lead.
04:38So they're going to keep getting that shot.
04:40You're going to have to knock some down.
04:42Citron commits the foul.
04:44Last meeting between these two teams
04:46was here at the Barclays Center last Sunday
04:48where Washington was held to a season-low 64 points.
05:00Working inside, Jones one-on-one with Austin.
05:04And Austin thought potentially she got all ball.
05:08Instead, it would be her first foul.
05:10That was a nice pass inside.
05:11I think the double pump from Jones
05:13is what threw the timing of Austin off.
05:16But she caught her with the body.
05:21John Paul Jones to the free-throw line.
05:23Tenth season in the league.
05:26Another strong performance we saw Wednesday night
05:28where she put up 19 points in that victory over Chicago.
05:34As Lauren Betts,
05:35who made her first career start Wednesday night
05:37against Connecticut because of the injuries
05:39to Eriathan and Austin,
05:41now the first option off the bench for Sidney Johnson.
05:45That's such a positive sign.
05:46Her teammates speak so highly of Betts
05:48and what she can do.
05:49Nice touch around the rim.
05:51I talked to Coach Johnson about that
05:52the last time they were in New York on Sunday
05:54that, you know,
05:56they feel like they got a steal with her,
05:58which is funny being a first-round pick.
06:00But they said that she has tremendous upside.
06:02She's moving better.
06:03She's quicker on both ends of the floor.
06:05One of the record five first-round picks for UCLA
06:08in this past year's draft.
06:10Eriathan spotting up for long range.
06:13And you'd have to imagine coming back from that ankle sprain,
06:16it's going to take some time for adjustment.
06:18Stewart to Jones,
06:20and that patented fadeaway jumper
06:22knocking down for John Paul Jones.
06:23Well, you talked about challenges and guarding JJ.
06:26It's definitely going to be a challenge.
06:28I mean, that is a test in your first game back.
06:30Here on the floor,
06:31she moves so well inside,
06:33and I think they've been doing a nice job
06:35by throwing some post passes at her cleanly.
06:37Amor finding the streaking Citron
06:39too hard off glass,
06:40and Washington two of seven to begin this game.
06:45Jones,
06:46no look pass.
06:47Yesu in the corner for three.
06:51We know JJ feeling it,
06:53and she got some bounce
06:53when she does that shovel pass,
06:55and she throws the shovel pass to Yonesu,
06:57who knocks down a three.
06:59Beautiful ball movement.
07:00Citron to Eriathan
07:01with an answer quickly on the other end.
07:03That is the part of her game in Citron
07:05that makes her so dangerous on the floor.
07:07Yeah, because you know she can score,
07:09but she can be a playmaker,
07:10find her teammate,
07:11nice, dive to the cup for Eriathan.
07:14Jones looking to answer.
07:15Strong left-hand finish.
07:17What a start for Jockwell Jones.
07:20Saw her absolutely feasting on Sunday
07:22against this team
07:23because she's been liking the matchups.
07:26How mobile she's been able to be.
07:28Cutting, getting to the basket.
07:29Cut her teammates for finding her.
07:30Unescu along with Jones
07:32combining for all nine points so far
07:34here for the Liberty.
07:35It's been a good one.
07:36Four and a half minutes in.
07:37Citron streaking,
07:38looking inside
07:39and finding Lauren Betts.
07:41Lauren Betts.
07:43And you have to show them.
07:44You have to get a hand out
07:45because Citron absolutely loves
07:47the mid-range as well.
07:49And she makes the defense bait
07:50and is able to find a pass down low,
07:53facilitating top tier.
07:55But Yonescu has hit down a three
07:58early in this one.
07:59And then Citron-
08:00Grabbed rebounds,
08:01but all those little things
08:02are slowly coming back.
08:04And you know,
08:05she's been, of course,
08:06a centerpiece on her team
08:07since she was drafted
08:08second overall in 2020.
08:10We asked her about
08:11her change recently
08:13coming off the bench,
08:14her new role.
08:15She said,
08:15I feel like I'm still
08:16the centerpiece.
08:17Doesn't matter what point
08:18of the game I'm going in,
08:19I am still contributing my game
08:21whenever I'm on the floor.
08:23And Steph,
08:23it's good reason
08:24as to why it took
08:25a little bit of time
08:26for Someret to
08:27get used to that roll down.
08:29When you think about
08:29the fact she dealt
08:30with injuries,
08:31she dealt with the fact
08:32she's doing a new role now
08:33with this Liberty team.
08:35Is that one
08:35intercepted by Cody McMahon?
08:37But it shows the type
08:39of professionalism
08:40that Saboli showcases
08:42on the floor.
08:43Absolutely.
08:43She talks so much
08:44about mentally
08:45getting herself back
08:46into the game,
08:46missing time.
08:47Hey, there's no experience
08:48like getting out there
08:50on the floor,
08:50playing,
08:51having the game
08:51come back to you.
08:53And Satsu has been fantastic.
08:55That's again
08:55with an answer underneath.
08:57That is now five assists
08:58on five main field goals
08:59for Washington,
09:00a team that ranks
09:0113th in the league
09:03when it comes
09:03to assists per game.
09:06As Saboli along
09:07with SDA
09:09about to check
09:09into this game,
09:10that one off the mark.
09:14A Washington team
09:16that has the youngest
09:16roster in the league,
09:18second all time,
09:19only to the 2020 Liberty.
09:23Citron at the point,
09:25gives it off to
09:25Eriafin,
09:27off the back foot,
09:28off the mark,
09:29Jones there for a rebound.
09:36So far,
09:37Unescu and Jones
09:37have combined
09:38for the first nine points
09:39for the Liberty.
09:40Beibish can't connect
09:42on the left-handed shot.
09:43That was a really nice move
09:44though,
09:44a little hesitation,
09:45throw the defense off balance,
09:46the Mystic's looking to run.
09:48There's Citron
09:48in transition,
09:49no,
09:50McMahon and Unescu
09:51get tied up
09:52and they're gonna call
09:53it against McMahon
09:54as Honshu along
09:55with SDA
09:56and Saboli
09:57checking into this game
09:58for New York.
09:59Meanwhile,
10:00Angela Dougalich
10:01will be checking in
10:02the UCLA product
10:03here for Washington
10:05along with Lucy Olsen.
10:07Well, it's so interesting
10:08this Mystic team
10:09and Kiki being back
10:10in the lineup
10:11here tonight,
10:12how much more calm
10:13they look.
10:14And I called her
10:14a veteran earlier
10:15because it's on
10:16her second season
10:17but she just looks
10:18so calm out there,
10:19boy,
10:19she's been communicating.
10:21Her team has looked
10:21confident,
10:22giving her the basketball
10:23and running her actions
10:25to create some offense.
10:26Johan gives it off
10:28to Shue.
10:28Shue with the right hand,
10:29no,
10:30fouls up her own shot,
10:31second chance goes down
10:32for Han Shue
10:33to tie this one up
10:34at 11.
10:35The bench production
10:36has been fantastic.
10:37Han has been great.
10:39She comes in
10:39and gives another punch
10:41for this team,
10:41a nice follow
10:42on the offensive rebounding.
10:44We're just staying with it.
10:45We've seen a couple
10:46of those balls
10:46roll out
10:48and then just
10:49the extra effort.
10:50Throw it up.
10:51She can go get it.
10:52The matchup
10:53with Lauren Bass
10:54who just goes after it.
10:55Nobody touches her
10:56to keep her off
10:57of the glass.
10:59Shue who saw
10:59valuable minutes
11:00Wednesday night
11:01against Chicago.
11:0211 minutes
11:03had a career-high
11:04three blocks
11:05all coming
11:05in the first half.
11:07A fan favorite
11:08here for the Liberty.
11:10Austin
11:12working out the point.
11:14Leaves it off
11:14to Olsen.
11:15Olsen,
11:15that one swatted
11:16away by Johannes.
11:19One reach
11:20by the French guard
11:21as Johannes
11:23thought about
11:23spotting up
11:24for three.
11:25In the corner,
11:26Saboli
11:26knocking down
11:27the three.
11:31Look how many weapons
11:32you take away
11:33Johannes
11:34and then the quick pass
11:36to the corner
11:37to find Saboli.
11:39McMahon
11:39with the answer.
11:41Cody McMahon,
11:42the 11th overall
11:43pick
11:44out of Ole Miss.
11:49Astier
11:50looking for some help.
11:51Gives it off
11:52to Stewart.
11:56Johannes
11:56and they're going to
11:57call Olsen
11:58for the foul.
12:02Well, Stewart,
12:03nice job
12:03of recognizing
12:04that Olsen
12:05was denying
12:06Johannes
12:06when she got
12:07the ball back.
12:08Zip pass
12:09to the corner
12:09because there's
12:11so many players
12:11on this team
12:12that can knock
12:13down the three
12:13if you hug
12:14into the paint.
12:14Oh, man,
12:15you're too late
12:15to get out
12:16to contest
12:16when you have
12:17length like Saboli
12:18on the perimeter.
12:21Johannes
12:21to the free throw line.
12:24Johannes
12:25certainly made
12:26a huge mark
12:28when it came
12:29to her presence
12:30early on
12:30in the season.
12:32And coming up
12:33after Washington
12:34and New York,
12:36joins Zina,
12:37Autumn,
12:37and Megan
12:38for Game Break
12:38presented by Toyota.
12:40You think about
12:41her three-point success
12:42that we saw
12:42in the first couple
12:44of games.
12:44Had 11 made threes
12:46in her first two games
12:47to set
12:48a Liberty record.
12:51Threes, highlights,
12:52spiral, all that.
12:54That three she had
12:55against Portland
12:55might be
12:56the shot of the year.
12:58Full-court press
12:59applied by this
13:00Liberty defense.
13:01McMahon
13:03as Austin
13:04went on one
13:05with Shoe
13:05in the low post.
13:06And that one
13:07partially blocked
13:07by Shoe.
13:08Great defense.
13:10Stay vertical,
13:11one arm up
13:11the entire time.
13:12I mean,
13:13Austin can put
13:13the moves on you.
13:14Soundly.
13:16Left open for three,
13:18unable to connect.
13:19And this is what
13:20makes Washington
13:21so dangerous
13:21in the transition game.
13:23And they're gonna get
13:24Astier with her second
13:25foul on a block.
13:28I think the rope
13:29from Hans,
13:30you know,
13:30talked about
13:30offensively her
13:31giving something
13:32from the bench.
13:33but I see the
13:34movement in the
13:35release,
13:36recognizing that
13:36Austin was turning
13:37back with that
13:38patented spin move
13:39that she loves.
13:41Watching the
13:41scouting report,
13:42watching the film,
13:43knowing who you're
13:43going up against.
13:44You know,
13:45I'm playing a team
13:45three times.
13:46That also helps.
13:47But stay vertical.
13:49Quick inside pass
13:51as McMahon
13:51able to find
13:52Onyan Wari
13:53underneath to tie
13:54this one up at 15.
13:58Onyan Wari
13:59with four straight
14:00gains of 17
14:01or more points.
14:02Had a season-high 22
14:03Wednesday night
14:03in the victory
14:04over the Sun.
14:05Here's Gardner
14:06right past Austin.
14:10She's just a steady
14:11player.
14:12This keeps her dribble
14:12alive, never panics.
14:14Out there on the
14:15floor, reads the
14:16defense, and gets
14:16a wide-open layup.
14:18Austin with the
14:1815-foot jumper
14:19that drops
14:21as Austin
14:22picks up her
14:23first two points.
14:25And I think the
14:25Mystics have to
14:26continue to look
14:26for the mid-range.
14:27It is open.
14:28They're hugging
14:29on the perimeter
14:30and they're leaving
14:30the mid-range
14:31wide open for Austin
14:33and Erya Finn
14:33who can knock it down.
14:34They're sure she
14:35has that range
14:36and she locks down
14:37the three-point shot.
14:39Liberty right now
14:39three of six
14:40from beyond the arc.
14:42My goodness.
14:44They're knocking
14:44down the threes
14:45at the high clip
14:46and I love the
14:46confidence Honshu
14:48playing with right
14:49now to pull it.
14:50Defense!
14:52Defense!
14:53Amor off the
14:55high ball screen
14:55looks for some help.
14:57Off to McMahon
14:58bounce pass
14:59inside to Austin.
15:00McMahon left wing
15:01three knocks it down.
15:02Big answer
15:03for Cody McMahon.
15:05And Washington
15:06ties this up
15:07at 20.
15:07McMahon absolute pro
15:09just knowing
15:10three defenders
15:11collapsed around
15:12Austin and
15:12Somity had turned
15:13her back.
15:14And so McMahon
15:15makes her play
15:16and Ole Miss
15:17wanted to go
15:17work on her
15:18perimeter game
15:19and what she can
15:20bring and showcasing
15:21it here.
15:21That's now nine
15:22assists on nine
15:23made field goals
15:24for Washington
15:25in this first quarter.
15:26Bounce pass
15:26to Saboli
15:27knocks down
15:28her second
15:29three of the quarter.
15:33They're on fire
15:34right now.
15:37Saboli six points
15:38off the bench
15:38for head coach
15:39Chris DiMarco.
15:41Defense!
15:43Defense!
15:44Defense!
15:44A 23-20 lead
15:45for the Liberty.
15:46Austin spots up.
15:47She can knock down
15:48the three
15:48and does so.
15:52Hey, how about
15:53the stretch forward?
15:55Someone's
15:55looking at you
15:55doing.
15:58UNESCO
15:59with an answer.
16:01Fight for the
16:02loose rebound.
16:04And that is how
16:06oh, that one
16:07almost went in
16:08by the way
16:08as the first quarter
16:10comes to an end.
16:1123 all.
16:12It's been a good one
16:13so far here
16:14at the Barclays
16:15Center.
16:15Liberty can do
16:17shooting including
16:17a three-pointer
16:18and you talk
16:19about her story
16:19coming out of
16:20Ole Miss
16:20being a first-round
16:21pick and a tough
16:22way to start
16:23the season
16:24having to miss
16:24the first two
16:25games because
16:25of that partial
16:26tear of the
16:27UCL in her
16:28left elbow.
16:28Yeah, I mean
16:30absolute adversity
16:31that she had to
16:32deal with coming
16:32in for her rookie
16:33season but then
16:34just weather the
16:35storm.
16:35I always thought
16:36she was pro-ready
16:37seeing her at
16:38Ohio State,
16:38seeing her at
16:39Ole Miss.
16:40Just her versatility
16:41and her aggressiveness.
16:42She does not
16:42fear the moment
16:43and with this crowd
16:44here has been
16:45playing great
16:46to start this game.
16:47Saboli forced up
16:48the shot.
16:49Liberty thought
16:49it went off
16:51of a Washington
16:52player and so
16:53they reversed
16:53the call
16:54after discussion
16:55and it will
16:55stay with the
16:56Liberty with
16:5714 on the
16:57shot clock.
16:59A game so far,
17:01Dominique,
17:01that we have seen
17:02eight ties
17:02and three lead
17:03changes.
17:04A phonetic pace
17:05to this game.
17:06It has.
17:07It has been
17:08fast-paced on both
17:09sides for these
17:11teams.
17:11Yonescu
17:12muscling her
17:13way in
17:13and they're
17:14going to get
17:14her for the
17:14offensive foul
17:15with the push.
17:21Gave a little
17:21bit of a nudge
17:22and Coach
17:23Johnson
17:23for the
17:24Mystics
17:24has talked
17:25about this
17:25team and
17:25how they
17:26can be
17:26disruptive
17:27defensively.
17:28Just making
17:28Yonescu
17:29uncomfortable.
17:30You know,
17:31think twice
17:31about this
17:32shot here.
17:32She had to
17:33clear out
17:33some space.
17:34Gets hit
17:34with the
17:34offensive foul.
17:35Well,

27:01excuse me
27:02by Betts
27:06Liberty doesn't
27:07get a lot
27:07of credit
27:08about their
27:09offensive rebounding
27:10because it might not
27:11show up in the
27:11stat sheets
27:12but JJ
27:13is absolutely
27:13battling
27:14for the extra
27:15effort
27:15we've seen that
27:16here tonight
27:17players just

27:29feeding to the
27:30corner
27:31Stewart
27:31that's a part
27:32of her game
27:33this year
27:33that she's
27:34had struggles
27:35with
27:35has tried
27:35to overcome
27:37and a foul
27:38on the floor
27:41it's gonna go
27:42against Austin
27:42that's gonna
27:43be two
27:43against her
27:44so Austin
27:45now with two
27:45Citron
27:46with two
27:46for Washington
27:51a New York
27:52team that
27:53started the
27:53year three
27:54and four
27:54they've now
27:55won eight
27:56straight
27:58SDA
27:59the talented
28:00rookie
28:00off to
28:01Saboli
28:01spots up
28:02for three
28:02off the mark
28:03not the type
28:04of shot
28:05you want
28:06Satu Saboli
28:06taking in that
28:07position
28:07yeah I like
28:08the relocation
28:09but it was
28:09contested
28:10right
28:10you can get
28:10more ball
28:11move
28:11with the ball
28:12and have to
28:12stay on that
28:13side of the
28:14floor
28:14they're at
28:15their best
28:15when they're
28:15working both
28:16sides of the
28:17perimeter
28:18you notice how
28:18quickly Dominique
28:19Washington is able
28:20to get it
28:21down in the
28:22offensive zone
28:22in the low
28:23post
28:23yeah
28:24less than
28:25three seconds
28:25it takes for
28:26them to get
28:27into an
28:27offensive rhythm
28:28very quickly
28:29because right
28:30now against
28:30the Liberty
28:30Press
28:32their players
28:33are spread out
28:34and with them
28:35being spread out
28:35it opens up
28:36the paint for
28:37Kiki in the
28:37post
28:38Austin in the
28:39post
28:39and they can
28:40get the ball
28:40down there
28:40and work
28:41and have some
28:41room to operate
28:44Citron

30:37she also

30:38thought
30:38at 6-7
30:39she'd be
30:39the tallest

30:40floor
30:41and that
30:41she went
30:41up against
30:41Brittany
30:42Greiner

30:436-9
30:44someone who
30:45she looks
30:45up to
30:45exactly
30:46literally
30:47and
30:47figuratively
30:50with the
30:51beautiful
30:52look at
30:52transition
30:53now
30:5341-36
30:54lead
30:55off the
30:55assist
30:55from
30:56Stewie
30:56really
30:56nice
30:56execution
30:58because
30:58the weak
30:59side
30:59Saboli
31:00just
31:00diving to
31:01the cup
31:01little
31:02backdoor
31:05Amor
31:06who's
31:06been quiet
31:07so far
31:07in this
31:08first half
31:11down to
31:11seven
31:13looking to the
31:14corner
31:14Citron
31:14playing with
31:15those two
31:17fouls
31:17hand in the
31:18face
31:18Astier with a
31:19good defense
31:20and now
31:20tracking it down
31:21for the loose
31:21rebound
31:22and that
31:23one will stay
31:24with Washington
31:25with 12
31:26on the
31:27shot clock
31:27the offense
31:28been moving
31:29good
31:29for the
31:30Liberty
31:30got the
31:31ball here
31:32I mean you
31:32have a
31:32playmaker
31:33like Stewart
31:34who can see
31:35over the top
31:35of the
31:36defenses
31:37right
31:37I mean she
31:38makes that
31:38six pass
31:39from the top
31:40of her head
31:41six four
31:42to facilitate
31:43as well
31:43I know it's early
31:45potentially
31:46Dominique to talk
31:47about triple
31:47double watch
31:48but you've got
31:48Stewart
31:49yes only four
31:50points but she
31:50does have
31:51the six rebounds
31:52and the five
31:53assists
31:53and more importantly
31:54a plus ten
31:55on the floor
31:56for the Liberty
31:57it's incredible
31:58how the roles
31:59shift
32:00every game
32:02for different
32:03players
32:03I mean we see
32:04Stooley be a
32:04playmaker one night
32:05and one night
32:06she's scoring it
32:07at a high clip
32:07Saboli can score
32:09it at a high clip
32:09other nights
32:10she might be
32:10facilitating JJ
32:11as well too
32:12because it speaks
32:13to the versatility
32:14up and down
32:15this lineup
32:15when you call
32:16a number
32:17they're just ready
32:18for whatever
32:18you need
32:19to get the win
32:20well this second
32:21quarter
32:22turnovers have been
32:23an issue for
32:23Washington
32:24and so has the
32:25foul trouble
32:25for your key
32:26players
32:27Irithan just
32:27picked up her
32:28second foul
32:29you've got
32:30Citron with two
32:31and you've got
32:32Austin with three
32:33and Mystics have
32:34six turnovers
32:35in this quarter
32:37alone
32:38and you know
32:39it's interesting
32:39the last time
32:40they faced
32:41the Liberty
32:41they had 18
32:42turnovers
32:42Liberty had 23
32:43points off of
32:44those turnovers
32:45so this is a team
32:46that's second to
32:47last in the league
32:48at taking care
32:48of the basketball
32:49they've got to
32:50do a better job
32:51with that in the
32:51first quarter
32:52that's how their
32:52offense was able
32:53to blossom
32:56Seward five points
32:57now six rebounds
32:58and five assists
33:03and a foul that goes
33:05against Phoebus
33:07that will be her first
33:14just over a minute to play
33:16in this first half
33:16Liberty looking to
33:17extend
33:18its win streak to nine
33:19Washington trying to get
33:20it back to 500 on the
33:22season
33:22Amor
33:24and Saboli
33:26forced the contact
33:29doesn't agree
33:29with the call
33:36Saboli's getting
33:36caught with that call
33:37a couple of times
33:38this season
33:39not giving the
33:40shooter space to land
33:41catching it on the way
33:42down
33:46just has to be
33:46under control
33:47when the closeout
33:49and now here's a quick
33:50word from State Farm
33:52you know who puts
33:53in the work

34:34a playmaker for
34:35tries to fire up
34:36a three here
34:37off the mark
34:38perhaps rushed it
34:39yeah
34:40in a three-point game
34:42Stewart
34:44driving through
34:45Betts wanted to travel
34:46but they will call
34:47the foul against
34:48Washington
34:50is that on Kiki
34:51and if that is on
34:52Irina Finn
34:53that will be
34:54number three
34:54so she along
34:55with Austin
34:56both with three
34:57fouls in this
34:58first half
34:59great recognition
35:00from Stewie
35:01for realizing
35:02that she was
35:02underneath the
35:03basket
35:03and we know
35:04that Brianna
35:04Stewart lives
35:05at the free throw
35:06line
35:06integral part
35:07of her game
35:08but just caught
35:08her backing up
35:09knew that she had
35:10two fouls
35:11and said hey
35:11I'm gonna
35:12I'm gonna get
35:12another foul
35:13on her
35:13before we go
35:14into halftime
35:15Google Leach
35:16having to come
35:16off the bench
35:18Irina Finn
35:18taking a seat
35:19with those
35:19three fouls
35:20so if you're
35:21Sidney Johnson
35:22in this particular
35:23position Dominique
35:24how do you adjust
35:25with your two
35:25bigs
35:26star bigs
35:27coming back
35:27from injury
35:28no less
35:28both on the
35:29bench
35:29with three fouls
35:30you know
35:30not necessarily
35:31a positive
35:31thing
35:32but he did
35:32have to play
35:33without them
35:33getting that
35:34gritty win
35:34over Connecticut
35:35right
35:35so the adjustment
35:36now you're
35:37gonna have
35:37on your way
35:38down in the paint
35:39being
35:41you know
35:42a forward
35:42of some sort
35:44playing big minutes
35:44Lauren Betts
35:46getting a lot
35:46more minutes
35:47here
35:47you have confidence
35:47in her
35:48so just a few
35:49jumpings
35:49you're gonna have
35:49to make
35:50but that's
35:51something
35:51they're unfamiliar
35:51with
35:52down to three
35:53on the shot clock
35:54Citron
35:55has Sable
35:56able to get
35:56a hand on it
35:57and the Liberty
35:57can hold
35:58for the final shot
35:59of this first half
36:01Sable
36:02trying to feed
36:02it to Unescu
36:03no
36:03now McMahon
36:04sees the clock
36:05pressures through
36:06throws up a three
36:07off the mark
36:08and that is how
36:10the first half
36:11comes to a point
36:11in a sense
36:12win it all
36:13in one play
36:13make one play
36:14to get their
36:15offense back
36:15into a groove
36:16they don't have
36:16to do that
36:17they can slow
36:17down
36:18run their offense
36:19they look so good
36:20in that first quarter
36:21but the defensive
36:21pressure delivery
36:22is gonna continue
36:23they're gonna
36:23utilize their
36:24length
36:24on both ends
36:27third quarter
36:28underway
36:28cross court pass
36:29from Stewart
36:30Johanna Snow
36:31Feebich
36:32fights her way
36:33and taps it in
36:34with a second chance
36:35point opportunity
36:38Feebich
36:39nice job
36:40on the glass
36:40another player
36:42who can just
36:42really do it all
36:43for this team
36:45and again
36:46that pesky
36:47offensive rebounding
36:48I think the Liberty
36:48have gotten so much
36:49better at
36:50as the season goes
36:52let's go over
36:53to our sideline
36:54reporter
36:55Steph Manacero
36:56with more
36:56yeah I spoke
36:57with coaches
36:58from both teams
36:58someone from
36:59the Mystics
36:59coaching staff
37:00said he likes
37:01the way
37:01that his team
37:02has been playing
37:02aggressively
37:03in that first half
37:04especially what
37:05they've seen
37:05from Sonia
37:06Citron
37:06but going to
37:08need to keep
37:08that up
37:09in the second half
37:10defensively
37:10he said
37:11look we know
37:12they're gonna
37:12make shots
37:13we just can't

37:24what do you
37:24mean by that
37:25he said
37:25defensively
37:25not communicating
37:27offensively
37:27not valuing
37:29the ball
37:30Amor there
37:30with a three
37:31Chris DiMolco
37:32made a point
37:33as well as
37:34Sidney Johnson
37:35specifically Johnson
37:36about the fact
37:36that they've
37:37got to play
37:37four tough quarters
37:39of basketball
37:39against his Liberty
37:40team
37:40last Sunday
37:41he said
37:41I only give credit
37:42to about two
37:43and a half quarters
37:43yeah I mean
37:44they were in it
37:45they were in the game
37:46and then Liberty
37:47created some separation
37:49Johannes
37:50again struggling
37:51from three
37:52oh or four
37:52tonight
37:54it's really tough
37:54learning lessons
37:55for rookies
37:56how to put
37:56together a full game
37:58man
37:58great defense
37:59for Brianna Stewart
38:03Aria Finn
38:03along with Stewart
38:05with the tip
38:06coming up
38:06we saw her
38:08on Sunday
38:08have seven blocks
38:09you know
38:09this isn't a block shot
38:12but she just palms
38:13the basketball
38:15Aria Finn
38:16brings the ball down
38:20Aria Finn
38:21who missed
38:21the last three games
38:22because of an ankle
38:23sprain
38:24they did credit
38:24that as a block
38:25for Stewart
38:26that's her first
38:27fourth of the night
38:28for the Liberty
38:316.7 rebounds
38:33five assists
38:33here's on the give and go
38:35Stewart off the nice feed
38:36from Johannes
38:38I think Stewart
38:38will take that
38:39for her running
38:39at defensive player
38:40of the year
38:40add another block
38:41to the box score
38:44beautiful reversal
38:46baseline
38:46with the answer
38:48as Washington
38:49continues to fight
38:51their way back
38:53Jones
38:54launching up
38:55a three front iron
38:55that attempts
39:0147-44 our score
39:04Iria Finn
39:05one on one
39:05goes right past Stewart
39:08and that's why
39:08she's got to be
39:09on the floor
39:09picked up that third
39:10foul late
39:11in that first half
39:13but you see
39:14back here on the floor
39:15they're in this game
39:16they need her
39:16to be a leader
39:18offensively
39:18and defensively
39:19the anchor
39:19for this team
39:20and keep in mind
39:21Iria Finn
39:22and Austin
39:22both on the floor
39:23playing with three fives
39:26Unescu trying to go
39:27no left pass
39:29leads to a turnover
39:30for the Liberty
39:33well the Mystics
39:34are third of points
39:35in the paint
39:36here's why
39:36Amor starting to heat up
39:38just a little bit here
39:39looking for a shot
39:40being aggressive
39:41and then Kiki
39:42putting the ball
39:43on the floor
39:44blow by
39:45Stewart
39:46this is a Washington
39:48by the way
39:49that is the capability
39:51of dominating
39:52in the paint
39:53they've had four games
39:54this year
39:55of at least
39:5550 or more points
39:57when it comes to
39:58points in the paint
39:59and with the likelihood
40:00of Iria Finn
40:01along with Austin
40:02you put in bets
40:03into that equation
40:04that might be
40:05the secret recipe
40:06for Sydney Johnson
40:07and you know
40:07one of those games
40:08was when they
40:09faced the Liberty
40:10main 10
40:10that game
40:11that was the overtime
40:12look at the pass
40:13and the beautiful feed
40:15Iria Finn
40:17trying to answer
40:18just missed
40:19on the attempt though
40:20I know she would
40:21want that one back
40:22wide open
40:22just fakes like
40:24she's going to go up
40:24and then cuts back
40:25and Stewart
40:26trying to answer
40:27on the other end
40:28one and done
40:29for the Liberty
40:35Amor has made
40:36her presence felt
40:37carried with the
40:38basketball
40:39you don't get
40:40a carry call
40:41many times
40:42you don't
40:43you don't see
40:44that a lot
40:45I think maybe
40:46thought she was
40:47going to hand off
40:47to Sitchhaw
40:49to Sitchhaw
40:56Stewart
40:56three-pointer
40:57just barely
40:58graces the iron
41:000 of 2
41:01from beyond the arc
41:02for Stewart
41:04one-point game
41:05as we approach
41:06the 642 mark
41:07and a foul
41:08against Stewart
41:10and that will be
41:11number 2
41:13against the veteran
41:22this is a much
41:23different Mystics team
41:24we're seeing on the
41:25floor than we did
41:25just about a week ago
41:27when they were held
41:28to a season-low
41:29of 64 points
41:30Austin
41:31nearly blocked
41:32by Stewart
41:33they're going to call
41:33a blocky foul
41:34underneath
41:38and that is going
41:39to go against
41:40John 12 Jones
41:44that's going to be
41:45number 2
41:46against Jones
41:46well interesting
41:47the double came
41:48to Sitchhaw
41:51and then she had
41:52to pass out of it
41:53Austin had to adjust
41:54in the air
41:54didn't see a lot
41:55of contact
41:55the NWSL
